And they’re off!
The Sidmouth and East Devon Walking Festival is back – as proclaimed in the latest Herald.
And, indeed, the Sidmouth Walking Festival started this weekend and is now really under way – as per the Sidmouth tourist info web pages:
Sidmouth Walking Festival
Discover the beauty of East Devon on foot at the Sidmouth Walking Festival, a week-long celebration of the stunning Jurassic Coast, rolling countryside, and charming towns and villages. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or enjoy a gentle stroll, this friendly festival offers something for everyone.
This festival is proudly organised by members of the East Devon Ramblers, with the valued support of Sidmouth Town Council and the East Devon National Landscape.
Explore the Best of Sidmouth and Beyond
The Sidmouth Walking Festival is the perfect way to explore some of the most breathtaking scenery in Devon. From dramatic coastal cliffs and golden beaches to quiet woodland trails and historic villages, every walk reveals a new side of this beautiful area. Across the seven days of the festival, there are five guided walks each day, covering some of the most spectacular routes in the region. Highlights include the East Devon Way, the Sid Valley Ring, and stretches of the stunning Jurassic Coast, from Lyme Regis to Exmouth.
Whichever walks you choose, you’re guaranteed breathtaking views and the chance to experience East Devon at its very best.
All walks are free to join, although some may involve using public transport or car sharing, which may incur a small cost. On certain routes, transport will be provided for a modest fee – full details will be shared at the time of booking.
Walks are led by experienced local guides who are passionate about sharing their knowledge of the area’s history, wildlife, and landscapes.
Here’s the full brochure.
And here’s the Festival’s Facebook pages.
It’s even being advertised as the Sidmouth & East Devon Walking Festival on the World Walking Festivals website!
Congratulations to all those involved!
